Letter signed T.K. Skinker to wife. The newspaper folk continue to write up Skinker Road and the Skinkers. Mr. Sturgeon wrote to the P.D. in very pleasant terms of father. The enclosed letter from Mrs. Hutchinson came yesterday. The net result of all the talk is that the name of the road is not to be changed. Hereafter it will rival Westmoreland and Vandeventer Places.

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The collection consists primarily of Skinker family correspondence, the bulk of which is between Thomas K. Skinker and his wife, Bertha Rives Skinker. The collection also contains several folders of tax receipts of Thomas Skinker dated 1839-1886. This finding aid was compiled by keying in the document descriptions on the folder covers. These document descriptions were presumably written by a Missouri Historical Society archivist soon after the collection was purchased in 1978.
